Place a cup on a table and stare at it for a minute or so and take the cup away.
Grasshopper, what do you see?
Why Master, I see a cup! No wait, it's gone.
The nuclear imprint is in your brain. See, we've all been here before. Some of us were here during the Civil War. Well, the last surviving widow of a Civil War veteran has recently died. Anyway, the imprints in your brain that you have put there and keep putting there all of your life is what is called 'heaven.' We have been stuck on this earth for who knows how long. Peoples 'heaven's have been mixing and mingling together all of that time. The laws of attraction play a part too. The atmosphere is 'living,' if you want to say that. The atmosphere is in a state of continual flux, i.e. the elements keep mixing and moving this way and that, and when certain elements line up in such a way as to mirror the line up that was before imprinted then a picture comes out, however brief.
I mentioned the Civil War. There have been stories of 'ghost battles' where 'snippets' of battles are replayed in certain areas.
That gets into the Irish folklores, 'The Memory of Trees.' You could extend that to cover anything.
The cup that you place on the table put a memory in three places; the table, the cup, and the atmosphere.
But, then you go to church and learn the three are one.
Um ... well .. yeah ... of course ... but that's totally discounting the effect of the 7 Moons of Umbleev, which have their own gravifartinal effect on your whole subsystem theorem. And let's not forget that the half-life of the nuclear imprint is almost 30 phreetons. Rather startling, eh?
But I see your basic premise, though the speed of the laws of attraction are usually proportionally related to the amount of alcohol ingested and the lumens in the surrounding area.
As for trees having memories, this has been established for years. Years ago, Parinov used a subether chlorylometer to discern the memory of Lodgepole pines, common in the Northwest and noted for being particularly profulic. Though the experiment worked, it was something of a disappointment. Contrary to postulations, trees have rather dull memories: wind storms, birds nesting, the occasional limb breaking and a root cracking a rock. Hardly Oscar material.
As for the Civil War, the three are only one after the smoke clears from the battlefield. Ghosts tend to begin as singles, then double and eventually quadruple into multiple personalities. From this, we get a variation of the psychic emphasis, the result being ... well, I think it's pretty clear what the results are and I needn't elaborate.
But yeah. Conflarity abounds in this question.
